Looking to the Future

Abstract

It is an organizing principle of the book that modern corporate reorganization law responds to different patterns of fact in diverse and complex ways, and this chapter explores other types of corporate reorganization case beyond financial restructuring. It argues that the analysis of these types of case may depend more fundamentally on the lens through which they are viewed. Furthermore, it suggests that there are reasons to suspect that there may be an increase in some of these other types of case over the next decade. This provides the framework in which to investigate the claim in the book that English scholars, practitioners, judges, and the legislature may face challenges in connecting concepts which are well adapted to a reorganization of loan, bond, and equity finance arrangements to new adaptations of corporate reorganization law.
